Who doesn’t like the month of December? With the year ending and the many parties to attend, and with this comes the question ‘What should I wear?’ Putting together a perfect outfit for each party can be a little taxing as everyone wants to look their best. To make sure that you look your finest this festive season, we have put together a guide that will help you decide your attire according to each occasion.

The Black Tie Event

A classic well-tailored tux is the best attire you can wear to such events. When dressing for a Black Tie event, make sure that your black three-piece tux is well fitted. A bulky suit or a very loose one will spoil the entire ensemble. Your white shirt can either be a single pleat or a double pleat. You can always experiment with your bow tie, but the most worn colour is black. Wearing a cummerband is optional if you are not wearing a waistcoat. Do keep in mind that your cummerband should match the colour of your bowtie. Complete your look with an elegant white pocket square and cufflinks. Lastly, no look is complete without well-polished shoes. A black leather pair will do the trick in this case. Make sure you are well-groomed when wearing this attire. If you are not comfortable going clean shaven, then make sure that your beard is trimmed well.

The Office Party

Your office party attire will depend on the dress code of the party. For a less formal look try pairing your light t-shirts or sweaters with your formal trousers and a smart jacket. Make sure your t-shirts complement the jacket. You can always accessorize your jacket with a simple pocket square. To add more elegance to this look, make sure your formal shoes are well polished.

Casual Get-Togethers

You can loosen the reins for this outfit. A plain shirt paired with casual trousers will do the trick. You can add a quirky bow tie or even suspenders to enhance your look. Since winter is here, layered clothing is back in trend. Try pairing a navy blue sweater with your white oxford shirt and a smart charcoal grey blazer over it. So even if it gets a little warm you can always remove the above layers and still have a complete independent outfit.

The most important thing to remember is that you should be comfortable in whatever you wear. Do make sure that you are well groomed and that your hair is styled and beard trimmed accordingly, to match the look. You can always accessorize your looks with a well-matched belt and proper shoes.

The wedding season has already started and there is nothing better than a Big Fat Indian wedding to attend. With all these festivities the one thing that is most important is your clothing. You can look dapper and go the extra mile with your ensemble by adding a few accessories. Here are some tips that will help you to accessorize your wardrobe with the coming festivities.

Modi Jackets

The Modi jacket is a hip-length tailored coat with a mandarin collar worn by men. The best part of the Modi jacket is its versatility; it can be worn to a formal or a casual event. A Modi jacket adds grace to your Indian attire so make sure that you make it a part of your wedding look. You can pair your jacket with either jodhpuri pants or classic dhotis and pyjamas for an ethnic look.

Mojris

Mojris are the perfect match for your Indian attire. You can opt for a patterned design that complements your traditional look. Use a thin cloth or thin brush to remove the dirt off your shoes and let it dry in the sun. When storing your mojris, wrap each shoe in muslin cloth, the cloth will let the material breathe and will retain the shine of the shoes. You can also try pairing your Indian footwear with jeans and a kurta for a more relaxed look when attending a sangeet or mehendi ceremony.

Pocket Squares

Pocket squares gained popularity as a fashion statement in the 1900’s. Made of linen, cotton or silk, a pocket square adds sophistication when neatly folded in the right breast pocket of a sherwani or safari. There are various ways to fold them but make sure you don’t make it look bulky. A clean and simple pocket fold can speak volumes and take your ensemble a step ahead.

Brooches

Brooches have the ability to make your suit look interesting. A dull-colored suit canbe made more interesting if you attach a simple silver brooch or brooch chain on it. If your suit has intricate designs embroidered on the fabric. Pair a small brooch on your suit to enhance the intricate details around it. You can also wear them on your turban to add a bit of unique style to your outfit.

With these wedding essential accessories, you are bound to be well dressed and stand out among the other guests. Do tell us about your #FestiveLook styles in a comment below.

Men often get stumped by the choices – readymade or tailor made – when it comes to formal wear. While the people who swear by tailor-made clothes will always have something against them, we’re here to break the myths and the reputation surrounding readymade clothes.

So here are 5 reasons why Ready Made Formal wear is definitely an option to consider!

1) Wide Variety of Designs
Choosing the right make of fabric and design can be a daunting task when selecting fabrics for formal wear. This trouble is more or less avoided when one opts for readymade outfits since they are updated with every season, keeping in mind current fashion trends. Age old patterns like checkered, pinstripes for shirts are always re-invented and given a contemporary look. So all you have to do is choose a style that suits your taste!

2) Made for Everyone.
Manufacturers have realised the importance of customizing for the masses, and for this, they have introduced various fits in shirts, trousers and other items of clothing. Shirts are now available in styles such as Slim Fit and Regular Fit and are comfortable and accentuate your body type in the most subtle way possible.

3) Lower Wait Times – Perfect for those in a hurry
While nothing can come close to bespoke suits that are crafted to meet each and every minute detail specified by you, you will often come across moments in life when you require something very fast. The long process of getting yourself a custom-made suit just won’t cut it for you. Then what?! Cancel Events? NO! A readymade suit with minor alterations can do the trick!

4) Know exactly what you’re getting
While for a lot of men, the wait might not be a huge deal, fair enough! But let’s not forget about the fact that, there will always be a level of uncertainty of how the clothes will turn out to be after they are stitched. While a lot of people may have trusted tailors that they have known for years, some may move cities or localities and end up hunting for a tailor that suits them again. If you find yourself in a situation like this, walk into one of our Siyaram’s Store and experience our Tailor Fit services for clothes with an exemplary fit.
If time is the enemy, opt for something off the rack. With readymade clothes, one knows what exactly he is getting and there is always someone at the store who will give you an opinion about the choice you are making.

5) Economical
Last but not the least, contrary to popular belief, readymade clothes are not more expensive than bespoke wear. If nothing, it is usually cheaper or at par with your tailor-made formal outfits. Investing in yourself is one of the most important things and, spending your hard earned money wisely is of utmost importance.
So these were a few reasons to prefer readymade formal wear over a custom stitched one. However, at the same time we need to understand that readymade clothing also cannot be trusted blindly, hence, it is really important to understand the fabrics of the brand you are making your purchase from.
With Siyaram’s you can get the best of both worlds with the readymade clothing we offer, so you can be sure of receiving the best quality of fabrics, and a bang for your buck!

A New Year’s Eve party is not just any party. It is a party to celebrate the year you’ve had. It is a party to celebrate the year you’re going to have.
